Right at the moment that Jesus points at Matthew (or Levi as he was called at that time), this customs collector immediately knows what to do with the rest of his life. All doubts are gone. Would you not sometimes like to be taken in by a cause in such a wholehearted way? Or would you at the moment of your ‘calling’ react in the way most people do: evading it with every means you’ve got?
